"We are pleased with this newly granted patent for multiple claims, which is the first one for our microvisualization technology of such small diameter. We are committed to further developing the patent holdings over our proprietary technology, which we continually seek to enhance with the latest miniaturization and visualization advancements to deliver innovative new solutions for a broad scale of unmet needs in medical, industrial and other scientific applications," said Chris Rowland, CEO of Medigus.
